Race to the Sky: NYC Architecture Tour With SUMMIT One Ticket
ExperienceFirst
See some of New York’s best architecture on this expert-led Midtown Manhattan walking tour with your ticket to NYC’s newest observatory — SUMMIT One Vanderbilt — included! We’ll start at the famous Empire State Building, where you’ll capture the perfect photo of this skyscraper. On Fifth Avenue, hear how Macy’s changed New York and America. See more iconic skyscrapers from Bryant Park, the “town square” of Midtown, as you take in views of the striking American Radiator Building and learn how it inspired artists. Your guide will share the stories of these beloved landmarks, from the Chrysler Building to the New York Public Library, pointing out details in the Art Deco and Beaux-Arts architecture along the way. Finally, we come to One Vanderbilt, standing more than 1,400 feet tall. On the 91st through the 93rd floors, you can experience the NYC skyline in a whole new way — with lights, mirror, and interactive art.
